City Of Fort Worth: Experience The Unbreakable Bond And Love With A Shelter Pet

Press release from City of Fort Worth:

February 28, 2022

The PetSmart Charities Nation Adoption Weekend will look a bit different this month. The great news is, instead of just one weekend, adoptions can be made during a weeklong event Monday, Feb. 28, through Sunday, March 6.

In the eyes of a shelter pet, there’s nothing more important than having a family to love. Fort Worth shelter pets deserve a chance to have that unbreakable bond. Nearly 800 dogs and cats, kittens and puppies are in the shelter, and each of them is waiting to meet their new family.

The shelter has been near, or at capacity, for many months, with more pets coming into the shelter daily versus the number of adoptions. Hopefully, this adoption event will place a spotlight on these amazing pets, all deserving of a forever and loving home.

Adoption fees are waived for all dogs over 40 pounds and for adoptions by members of the military. Adoption fees include an initial medical examination, vaccinations, micro-chip and spay/neuter services. Adopters also receive a coupon book and a complimentary bag of pet food courtesy of PetSmart Charities.

Check out all four adoption locations:

• South Campus, 4900 Martin St.
• PetSmart Adoption Center Hulen, 4800 S.W. Loop 820 (I-20 at Hulen).
• PetSmart Adoption Center Alliance, 2901 Texas Sage Trail (I-35W at Heritage Trace).
• North Campus, 351 Hillshire Drive.

View available pets on Facebook and on the city website.
